Just Press Play - 7:30pm
Wrapping up the shortened holiday week's news is a must for Moby
fans. On November 18th, 2003 Moby released Moby 18 B-Sides
+ DVD and celebrated the event with a screening, Q&A,
and signing session at the Apple Store SoHo in New York City.
Now, California will "get a dose of the excitement"
when Moby hits the Apple Store The Grove in Los Angeles on December
4nd. Moby's CD/DVD contains video footage he shot himself during
the 16 month long '18' tour, which concluded in Venice, Italy
this past September.
Moby's history with Apple goes way back, as he's been using Macs
to make music in his NYC home studio on the Lower East Side for
over a decade. He recently contributed a celebrity playlist to
the iTunes Music Store, which highlights some of the music and
artists that influenced and continue to impact his musical career.
The roughly hour-long event will begin at 7pm, and for more information
contact the media line at 310.396.6772.
(Due to the extended Thanksgiving weekend, there will be
no more updates here until Monday, December 1st. Have a great
holiday!)
